Dear Sir/Madam,

I am reporting an issue with an overgrown hedge obstructing a public footpath.

The hedge has become so overgrown that it is blocking access to the path, making it difficult or impossible for pedestrians to pass through safely. This is preventing people from using the public right of way, including walkers, dog walkers, and families, and it poses a risk of scratches or injury due to the dense overgrowth.

I would be grateful if this hedge could be cut back as soon as possible to restore safe access.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Council ref: ENQ251053497
